God's voice is still and quiet and easily buried under an avalanche of clamour.

I know people will think it's funny because I've done glamour modelling in the past but I felt embarrassed about my body and just wanted to cover it up.

It's my first presenting role so I'll be nervous but it's going to be great fun. I can't wait to sample the food and meet the celebrities. Hopefully I can inject some of my own glamour.

It is great to add some glamour to the food industry like television shows have done for the food world and inspiring people to work in the industry. The flip side of that is unfortunately people think that after they get their qualifications they get their invitation to compete on 'Top Chef.'

I never did quite fit the glamour mode. It is life with my husband and family that is my high now.

The true face of smoking is disease death and horror - not the glamour and sophistication the pushers in the tobacco industry try to portray.

If I took over the 'Glamour' offices for a day I would put Joe Pesci on the cover. I would say 'We've got to change all these magazines a little bit. We have to bring out a different version of what is like cool. You know what's winning. Joe Pesci Burt Reynolds.'

We were probably the last people in the country to get a VCR and we didn't have cable. There wasn't any admiration of glamour no 'I want to look like them or have that lifestyle' because everyone in my town had the same lifestyle. So I didn't think 'Ooh a movie star's birthday!' I just thought 'What?'

I love glamour and artificial beauty. I love the idea of artifice and dressing up and makeup and hair.

Beauty and femininity are ageless and can't be contrived and glamour although the manufacturers won't like this cannot be manufactured. Not real glamour it's based on femininity.
